Yakitori Taisho is a popular spot for yakitori in San Diego, located in an unsuspecting strip mall beside the Smart & Final. The restaurant offers an authentic and extensive menu with many tasty options. Visitors especially enjoy the wings, garlic, edamame, chicken heart, and quail eggs. The skewers are consistently amazing, with dishes like chicken liver, beef tongue, and Brussels sprouts being highly recommended. The beef tongue with wasabi and fried garlic are also favorites. The place tends to get busy, so making a reservation the day before is advised. The friendly staff is accommodating and attentive, ensuring a satisfying dining experience. The restaurant also serves a good selection of vegetarian-friendly items, including Japanese eggplant, fried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and shishito peppers. While seafood options are limited, the quality of the food remains excellent, making it one of the best yakitori spots in San Diego.
